Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Rum (optional)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a simple syrup. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the fresh mint leaves to the syrup and let it steep for 10 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.
Step 3
Strain out the mint leaves and allow the syrup to cool completely to room temperature.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled mint syrup, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and rum (if using).
Step 5
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk into the lime mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 8
When ready to serve, scoop the frozen mojito mixture into bowls or glasses. Garnish with additional mint leaves and lime slices if desired.
